After several testing, it turned out that the spinner drain length fix affects the star rating. The similarity I found across the maps I have tested is the scoring changes depending on the listed tiers of Star Difficulty rating:
- 0.01~0.50
- 0.51~1.00
- 1.01~1.50
- 1.51~2.00
- ...
- 4.51~5.00
For the map I had above, I got 3.19 on public build and 3.53 on test build, hence the maximum score is affected.
There are maps which don't affect the scoring, because the rating on both public build and test build are still within the tiers listed above (such as 2.31 on public build and 2.49 on test build, on
Team Nekokan - Can't Defeat Airman [Normal]).

well their start time was previously calculated though
The slider end is indeed not counted towards the drain length, but you can't find maps with super long slider anyway, so I wonder if that will be fixed anyway...
